Principal Scientist - Pharmacokinetics & Drug Metabolism

Live

What you will do

Lets do this. Lets change the world. In this vital role you will add substantial scientific expertise to the discovery and non-clinical development of small molecule therapeutics. You will be responsible for establishing and implementing PKDM strategy to achieve project team goals integrating PKDM with other aspects of drug discovery including disease biology, chemistry/protein sciences, toxicology and clinical pharmacology to advance the best therapeutic candidates. In addition, you will make meaningful and innovative contributions to the fundamental understanding of the factors that affect the absorption, distribution, and clearance of small molecule therapeutics.

• Serve as a functional representative and subject matter expert on the biotransformation and pharmacokinetics (PK) of small molecule therapeutics, communicate project team progress and issues, and collaborate with scientists cross-functionally

• Evaluate and implement emerging in vitro and in silico tools to support the prediction of pharmacokinetics and drug interactions in humans

• Work with disease and biology experts to design appropriate pharmacodynamic (PD) studies to evaluate biology, PD and/or efficacy models, and to establish PKPD relationships to best meet therapeutic objectives

• Devise, articulate, and implement strategies for improvement of absorption, distribution, clearance and PK/PD properties for candidate molecules

• Articulate risk and mitigation strategies for human PK predictions and clinical dose projections

• Design and complete IND and NDA-enabling studies and reports to support regulatory submissions

Your specific contributions will depend on your expertise, interests, training, and experience. You will also have opportunities to learn and obtain experience with PKDM strategies for the discovery and non-clinical development of biological therapeutics.

In addition to the core responsibilities, the position provides the opportunity to pursue scientific inquiries into the fundamental physiological and biochemical factors that determine the absorption, distribution, and clearance of small molecule therapeutics. A collaborative and highly capable scientific community at Amgen is available to support these efforts. Interactions and collaboration with academic and other external scientists is encouraged.
